Hi RMMSD , 
 Thanks for reaching out to the Sophos Community Forum. 
 The virus definition files that are downloaded will be quite small. It's possible to check this by looking into the following folder on a protected endpoint. In general, Sophos is moving away from the traditional virus definition scanning method and the majority of scanning will be done via our ML engine. - C:\Program Files\Sophos\Sophos Standalone Engine\engine1\engine\###### 
 On the Update Cache server you can also find the local download cache at the following location. - C:\ProgramData\Sophos\UpdateCache\www\warehouse 
 Checking the "downloader.log" on the server will tell you the exact file-sizes that are being downloaded. The logs are located in "C:\ProgramData\Sophos\UpdateCache\Logs".
